Direct hospitality,
in the heart of Florence
Authentic hospitality,
in places that matter.
The Key was founded in 2021 with a simple idea: to offer hospitality in a direct and personal way. No intermediaries, no call centres, just well-kept rooms and a real person to answer your questions.
The property is located at Via Cittadella 22, a 5-minute walk from Santa Maria Novella station. When you call, you speak to someone who knows every room and every corner of the neighbourhood.
How we work
How we started
The Key was born from a dissatisfaction with anonymous hospitality. We wanted a place where guests felt like people, not booking codes. Since 2021 we have managed every room directly, delegating nothing.
Our approach
Transparent prices, real photos, accurate distances. We do not make promises we cannot keep. If something goes wrong during your stay, we fix it ourselves: we do not pass you on to someone else.
Why choose direct management?
Reply within 24 hours
Always, including weekends and public holidays. Not a bot: a real person who knows the property answers.

During your stay we are directly reachable. No generic numbers, no tickets to open.
